Optimism

Sometimes it gets cold in the wide, open world. Not everyone wants to give a wide, open embrace.

I embrace anyway.

Sometimes it’s scary to plunge into a stream of perhaps-almosts and not-sure-if-I’m-gonnas.

I plunge anyway.

Sometimes, yesterday’s mistakes follow you tomorrow.

I progress anyway.

I ain’t gonna stand still waiting and hoping for friendly embraces, die-hard certainties, and model-perfect perfections.

Because this wide open world is also an upside down one. Yet with each step I take, I make it right side up.
